Am I wrong to believe that this might be the location where they took the picture that is the standard Windows XP desktop background?
And if it is, why oh why did they not include Mr/Ms Giraffersons in the picture???

Nonononono, I would never claim so! I’m only baffled about why the photographer did not choose turn their camera ever so slightly to the right to include into that shot the very real giraffe that was standing right there off-frame. :) I choose to believe that the photographer fell over (with or without the assistance of Mr/Ms G) after taking the XP picture, and the camera went off when it hit the ground, hence this pic. That’s my story and I’m sticking with it. :D

ooooh, where can i get a giraffe to clean my gutters and trim the trees????? i bet he wouldn’t call me relentlessly like my current cutter-cleaning service, either. or, if he did, it wouldn’t be nearly so irritating. :D
